So they paved it... I remember it being dirt so I have never taken in the 951.

BTW... my favorite drive in Az is morenci to Alpine. Very nice!

It's still dirt from the Ski area to Big Lake. This road is the one just before Eagar on 260. I used to take my EVO from the Ski area on dirt roads to the tar turnoff going to Eagar. This loop is one of the best rally roads anywhere.

The car looks great George! You should get it professionally detailed and take some quality photos of it, and then change your Rennlist avatar too.

Very cool George. I'm going to be down in Phoenix for a wedding next week and the girlfriend has a photo shoot with Aziani.com. If I get a chance I'd love to see it. Depending on how time is I'll get in touch. Right now it doesn't look good but you never know.

Well, these photo's were taken after a 4 hour drive. The driveway to my place in greer is dirt. I didn't wash the car till this afternoon. It was covered in bug guts and dirt. There is enough wax on her to come out nice with a good wash. Know that I take care of my stuff, but drive em hard.

Ask Sean about my offroad vehicle. It's an amazing ride, but usually dirty. Sean post up about our offroad trips.......Lexus actually made a better differential after towing my 470 three times from Greer under warranty. At least that is what the letter states. Those Toyota folks know how to make an amazing offroad SUV and take care of their customers.

I'll take some pictures of the car tomorrow and update my avatar.

Rolex, what is the status of your car?

Car looks awesome George. I too am relishing in my new 3.0l. The power band is crazy. From start to finish the car is just insane.

What size wheels and tires are you running. It's time for me to go larger in the rear.

And I need to ship something to you Patrick. Did you want one of those coolant tanks too? Let me know.
It has ALWAYS been thus! Keep up the good work.

I'll pipe in on behalf of Sean -- he's currently in Michigan visiting some friends. His car is beautiful in person -- very well-done. And, it's fast. So much usable power. Had my car not, er, been totaled, I was looking to buy the same turbo he acquired from Tial. IIRC it's a GT30 (not GT35) w/ custom stainless steel hotside. Ball bearing. Yes, a bit smaller than what we normally see, but it works great on the 2.5L motor.

Oh and his black mirrors are due to the mirror bras he's got on 'em.

That's interesting. I continually wonder why guys go to such comparatively large turbos, on street cars. The one thing I always want is the fastest possible spool up. I mean Hell, by the time you max out a 26/6 you are in "Go STRAIGHT to jail" land! WTF is one going to use 600 hp that doesn't start happening until 4k?
I get the 3.X ltr guys. They have a bunch more grunt, down low; but on a 2.5, I prefer a compromise towards quick spool over dyno #'s.
